A few things to get you started if you're part of the #TwitterExodus and #TwitterMigration

1. Your profile pic and bio are super important. You can change and edit them later, but take a minute or two to do something with them. I mean, now. Yes, now.

2. The official Mastodon mobile apps are still a work in progress. Try installing the web app to your home page from your browser or use Metatext (iOS) or Tusky (Android).

3. Follow any account that strikes your interest.
